No need to spend a ton of money on other paddles! This 24 in. Plastic Mash Paddle will get the job done!

The 24 inch Plastic Mash Paddle is a great and inexpensive way to stir your grain when doughing-in. It easily breaks up any clumps of grain in your mash, preventing dough balls from forming. Homebrewers love it because the durable plastic paddle will not scratch plastic mash tuns. These are 24" in length, a great size for 5 gallon cooler mash tuns!

This paddle is a bargain and works well in a 10 gal plastic Igloo cooler MLT. Will not scratch plastic wall like a stainless steel tool would. It is strong enough to do the job. Easy to engrave on the handle of this paddle a set of marks corresponding to 1 gallon increments in the MLT.

I wanted an inexpensive mash paddle that would not scratch my Rubbermaid cooler and it works really well. Stays stiff enough for 13 pounds of grain. Eventually wanted to get a fancier one but I don't think I will need it!

great if you dont have anything else..but seems to get weaker in hot liquids..steel would be much better..This barely turned my grains..I tend to have thicker mashes,this is more suited for more watery mashes.
